Cleaning that fits around your move

Moving day leaves a lot behind: dust where the couch was, fingerprints on every door, a fridge nobody wants to open. UVL Move-Out Cleaning takes care of it, so you can hand back the keys with confidence or walk into a fresh home. Book it on its own, or add it to your move and we will line it up for right after the truck pulls away.

Move-out cleaning

For renters handing back keys and sellers getting ready for the walk-through. We clean the empty home top to bottom so it is ready for the next people.

Move-in cleaning

Start fresh before anything is unpacked. Cabinets, closets, bathrooms and floors are much easier to clean while the home is still empty.

Regular house cleaning

Already settled in? We also clean lived-in homes by the hour, whether it is a one-time reset or help getting the house ready for guests.

What a move-out clean includes

Every move-out and move-in clean follows the same checklist, room by room.

Kitchen

  • Cabinets and drawers, inside and out
  • Countertops, backsplash and sink
  • Outside of the fridge, stove, dishwasher and microwave
  • Inside the microwave, plus inside the oven and fridge if you ask
  • Floors swept and mopped

Bathrooms

  • Toilets, tubs and showers scrubbed
  • Sinks, faucets and mirrors
  • Vanity and medicine cabinet, inside and out
  • Tile and fixtures wiped down
  • Floors cleaned

Every room

  • Dusting of every reachable surface
  • Baseboards, window sills and door frames
  • Light switches, outlets and door handles
  • Closets and shelves wiped out
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped, trash bagged

We bring our own supplies and equipment. We do not shampoo carpets, clean outside windows, remove mold, or handle biohazard or hoarding cleanups.

How it works

1. Tell us about the home

Fill in the short form below or call us. The size of the home, the date and anything extra you need is all we need to start.

2. We confirm the price and the date

Our team gets back to you with a price and a time. If we are moving you too, we schedule the clean around the truck.

3. We clean, you hand over the keys

Our cleaners work through the checklist and walk the home before they leave, so nothing gets missed.

Cleaning questions

Do I have to be moving with University Van Lines?

No. Anyone in our area can book a cleaning on its own. If you are moving with us too, we can plan the clean around your move day.

Can you clean the same day as my move?

Often, yes. Once the truck is loaded and the home is empty, our cleaners can start. Let us know your move date and we will try to line it up.

Do you bring your own supplies?

Yes. Our cleaners bring the cleaning products, cloths, mops and vacuum. If you would like us to use a product you prefer, just leave it out for us.

How long does a move-out clean take?

It depends on the size and condition of the home. A studio or one bedroom usually takes a few hours for one cleaner. Larger homes get two or more cleaners so the job is done in a day.

How does pricing work?

Cleaning is $70 per cleaner per hour, with a $100 minimum per visit. Before we start, we tell you how many cleaners we will send and roughly how long the job should take, so there are no surprises.

Is there anything you do not clean?

We do not shampoo carpets, wash outside windows, remove mold, or handle biohazard, hoarding or trauma cleanups. If you are unsure about something, ask and we will tell you straight.

Will a move-out clean get my security deposit back?

We clean to a full move-out checklist, which is what most landlords look for. The deposit decision is always your landlord's, so we cannot promise it, but a clean home gives you the best chance.

Do you charge sales tax?

Yes. In New Jersey and New York, cleaning is taxable, so sales tax is added to the cleaning price where the law requires it.
